Re: bail jumping
In most counties your attorney can just call and ask - declining, of course, to identify you as the client. It is almost certain that a warrant exists if you jumped bail. The best way to clear the warrant is to have your lawyer negotiate a voluntary surrender. Not an attractive option but better than getting picked up either in or out of state.
